Best lowering springs?
I'm lowering my GSL soon and I've been looking around a little bit. The racing beat springs have good reviews but 1" doesn't seem like that much of a drop. B&G has some springs with a 1.5" drop for slightly cheaper, but I haven't seen any reviews on them. Any opinions, suggestions or photos would be much appreciated.

Most lowering springs will lower less than expected because the OEM springs are old and sagging. The
RB springs when I installed them only lowered the car maybe 1/2 inch, if that. I cut a loop off an its
more like an inch now. I wouldn't want to go much lower due to clearance issues when driving and adverse
handling geometry changes to the steering.

I don't think anyone her uses B&G springs. I am actually interested in them and there was someone here last year that was going to try them and give a review, but it looks like he has not logged in, in over 8 months. Like many of us, real life probably got in the way of his project.

Since most people say that due to sagging springs you probably will not get much of a drop, for appearance purposes, I am leaning towards B&G. My concern would be quality. One thing with Racing Beat is you know you are getting a quality product from a company that has been involved with the rotary community almost since the beginning.
Good luck with your choice.

The wheels/tires are 15x8 - 195/50
Here are some stock spring pics, for comparison:
